The universal Chaplain’s Badge suggested by former Navy Chaplain Rabbi Arnold Resnicoff may not be far fetched.

The Washington Post noted Chaplain (Major General) Cecil Richardson, the Air Force Chief of Chaplains, is on board with Resnicoff’s idea:

Top brass at the Pentagon have endorsed Resnicoff’s idea of a universal-yet-denominational insignia, if not his actual sketches.

 “I like the idea of developing a new chaplain insignia that represents both the unity and diversity of the chaplain corps,” said Major Gen. Cecil Richardson, chairman of the Armed Forces Chaplains Board.

As the Army prepares to welcome its first Hindu chaplain, “the time is right to look at the bigger issue of chaplain insignia across the services,” he said.

According to the article, the largest Chaplain endorser, the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces (NCMAF), has presented two universal badge ideas to Chaplain Richardson’s board for consideration.

Any of the proposals would consist of a common background with the symbol of the Chaplain’s unique faith imposed upon it.
